502: Why Most Reinventions Fail Before They Begin

from School of Self-Image · host Tonya Leigh

Starting September 1st, we're going deep into The 90-Day Reinvention inside the School of Self-Image membership. Three full months of deciding, designing, and embodying the woman you're becoming. If you're ready to stop watering down what you want and finally close the gap between who you are and who you know you can be, join us at schoolofselfimage.com/go. Today's episode is about the five ways I've watched reinventions fail, my own included, and why it's never because we're incapable of change. It's because, before we even begin, we've already watered down what we really want and started negotiating with all the old fears and rules that got us here. I'm still in the middle of my own business reinvention, which means I've lived through every single one of these. In this episode, I'm sharing what I've learned so that when you hit one of these, you'll recognize it for what it is and refuse to give in to it. Here's what we cover: My annual executive physical, and what it confirmed I already knew How my Word of the Year quietly led me to reinvent my business Why I do pre-mortems, and treat every failed reinvention as data Reason 1: Why truth has to come before reinvention Reason 2: Why "should" goals quietly sabotage you Reason 3: Why demanding the "how" keeps you doing math instead of dreaming Reason 4: Why the rules of your old life won't build your new one Reason 5: Why we put our identity on layaway How to start closing the gap in small, ordinary choices What's coming this September in The 90-Day Reinvention, and why the podcast is taking a pause Did you enjoy this episode?
